Weingut Allram

Location: Straß im Straßertale, Kamptal, Lower Austria
Founded: 1894 — family-owned for four generations

🌿 Philosophy & Practices

Weingut Allram is deeply committed to sustainable, hands-on viticulture. Every step of the process—from pruning to harvest—is done by hand to ensure quality and preserve the vitality of the land. The vineyards are rich with biodiversity: wild herbs, insects, and composted vine cuttings all contribute to soil health and ecological balance. Mechanization is kept to a minimum to protect the delicate vineyard soils and maintain long-term health of the terroir.

🍇 Terroir & Grape Varieties

The estate’s vineyards span a range of distinctive soils, from chalky loess to volcanic conglomerate and crystalline rock—especially in iconic sites like Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, and Renner. Kamptal’s unique microclimate, influenced by both warm Pannonian air and cool northern currents, contributes to the vibrant tension and aromatic complexity of Allram’s wines.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family & Winemaking

Founded by Walter Allram, the estate flourished under Michaela Haas-Allram and Erich Haas from the early 1990s. Since 2015, the cellar has been in the hands of Lorenz Haas-Allram, representing the new generation, working alongside his sister Magdalena. The family continues to run the estate with a clear focus on tradition, innovation, and quality.

In 2018, Lorenz received international acclaim when his 2016 Riesling Gaisberg won the White Wine Trophy at the International Wine Challenge in London — a first for Austria.

🍷 Wines & Style

Allram specializes in classic Kamptal white wines — notably Grüner Veltliner and Riesling — sourced from top Erste Lage vineyards. Other varieties include Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and St. Laurent. The winemaking philosophy favors minimal intervention, resulting in expressive, terroir-driven wines with elegance, purity, and ageability.
